  • Thank You Ladies for Showing Your Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. God Bless You All. 😇🙏
  • @CP-pe9ul
    Didn't a guy named Kaepernick get into a whole lot of trouble with the league for exercising his "right to free speech" ??
  • @paulamiller6284
    He should not be penalized it was an opinion. What I don't understand is many of us women always express the joy we feel after become a mother and a wife. Rhianna recently expressed similar sentiments so what is wrong with what he said? Is it because it was said by a man and not a woman?
  • @user-dm3zq2hq8l
    So what that’s his world view. Why are you advocating changing everyone’s beliefs to be identical.
  • I can't wait to lean into my VOCATION so MY LIFE can begin. -Signed 49 yr-old alive woman waiting to take her first breath 😂
  • I pray a day never comes where he or his wife needs his mother's expertise. 🙏 That would be just aweful.
  • No Cynthia, they all knew this about him and there’s an interview with Patrick Mahomes long before this where he said he doesn’t even talk to Butker.
  • @matthall5758
    What do you expect from Catholic School?? Ive seen thousands of women who are supporting him!
  • @TheBubblydimple
    As a Catholic myself, these women totally misunderstood what a vocation meant. Vocation is simply your profession in life, to be a mother and a wife.
  • He shouldn't be penalized professionally but his speech was vomit-inducing and not reflective of 'love thy neighbour'
  • @KimberBTR1999
    God bless this player. He did nothing wrong so all need to get over it…
  • @kzimmerman63
    There are weak people in this world. If you are outraged by what Butker said that is fine. Why can't somebody say something that you disagree with and your reply be - "hey, I don't like what he said and here is why". Then let it go! State your beliefs and share your opinions and give your reasoning as to why you disagree. Instead weak, weak people try to have the guy lose his job. Why is that?
  • @mikeklinger3655
    So this show's issue isn't with Butker, it's with Catholicism. Just say it already.
  • Finally someone dares to speak up with a different perspective. Good for him. Why is it that we’re forbidden to have different values. And I think it’s suspicious that there’s an outcry against statements like this while there’s silence regarding the very real misogyny of certain cultures that have come to the US with abhorrent treatment of girls and women. Let’s direct the outrage where it belongs.
